I think this is finally the end of troff. Hallelujah! Thank you AT&T for finally driving a stake through its heart. Here are your choices: DWB 3.1 (with Picasso) $30,000 Frame 2.1 (graphics included) $ 2,500 Admittedly DWB 3.1 includes source, but who needs source if you have support? It's hard to imagine that any troff VAR would sell DWB 3.1 for significantly less than $2,500-- they don't now. So when Frame comes out with a great table package, what advantage could troff offer? A rebarbative input syntax, perhaps?
